Version history

Version	Changes
3.16.0	Introduce "Spell Suppression" on Evasion items as well the Dexterity section of the Passive Skill Tree, which gives a chance to halve spell damage taken. The chance can be stacked up to 100%. Convert existing sources of Dodge and Spell Dodge to Spell Suppression or replace them with other bonuses. Polished Spiked Shield now has +5% chance to Suppress Spell Damage implicit. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.] Remove irrelevant modifiers from Shields and add some really powerful ones. Modifiers such as Chance to Block Projectile Attack Damage, Chance to Avoid Stun, Increased Global Physical Damage, Global Elemental Damage, Global Attack Damage, flat Mana gained on Block, percentage Life Regeneration, and Increased Cast Speed either felt out of place, or generally did not have impactful values. These can no longer be obtained on various Shields. Evasion-based Shields can now roll high values of a chance to Suppress Spell Damage taken, up to 34% at its highest tier. Evasion-based Shields can all now roll up to +480 Accuracy Rating. Previously only pure Evasion Shields could roll Accuracy Rating, but now this can also roll on both Armour/Evasion and Evasion/Energy Shield bases. Energy Shield-based Shields can now roll higher values of Faster Start of Energy Shield Recharge, up to 66% at its highest tier. Energy Shield-based Shields can all now roll increased Critical Strike Chance with Spells. Previously only pure Energy Shield Shields could roll increased Critical Strike Chance with Spells, but now this can also roll on both Armour/Energy Shield and Evasion/Energy Shield bases. Base Types are now generated with a random 0-15% (on average) higher base defence, as an inbuilt property. This means that all base types can be better than they currently are, and armour base types are not homogeneous any more. Polished Spiked Shield now has 111-131 evasion rating (up from 111), 23-27 Energy Shield (up from 22). Existing items receive the lowest roll, and can be rerolled by using Sacred OrbSacred OrbStack Size: 10Randomises the numeric values of base defences on an armourRight click this item then left click an armour to apply it.. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.0.0	The following changes CANNOT be obtained by rerolling the item's implicit with a Blessed Orb and will only appear on new versions of these items: The implicits of hybrid Dexterity/Intelligence shields have been reworked. They now grant either Chance to Dodge Attacks or Chance to Dodge Spells. Polished Spiked Shield now 111 evasion rating (up from 96), 22 energy shield (down from 28). See Version 3.0.0 § Item Balance for full rationale. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
1.3.0	Block Chance has been reduced from 30% to 26%.
